Little-bit

I posted up a while back about the tires rubbing on my truck. I have 35x12.5x16 tires on the truck now with a 2" lift. Yall recomended me buying longer control arms. I started calling around to a few places that install lift kits etc. They are telling me that if I put the longer arms it will only move the rubbing from the back to the front?

I had that same problem but all I did was take off my mud flaps. I have a 3inch top guns level kit and longer control arms. Same size tire.

I don't think longer arms will solve the rubbing. Especially if your 315's are on the 16" wheels.
WHhen I switched to 17", 3rd gen wheels, the rubbing was less.... due to less sidewall, I suspect.

Adding Centramatics spacers with their wheel balancers eliminated all but the last 1" of turn on the steering wheel, before they rub. And then only when turning to the right.

it all depends on the backspacing on your wheels, im running 315s 35s" no lift, with only a very slite rub at full turn and i have to hit a bump. my wheels are 8.5 wide with a 5.3 backspace. i have heard of people using longer control arms im looking into it myself so i can put my mudflaps back on.
next week ill be putting bfg km2s on a truck after i put a 2" leveling kit on it. probably going to be really close, the wheels on it will be 17x9 with a 4.5 backspace which pushes the tire further out causing it to "swing" more than my wheel with the 5.3 backspace. a hummer wheel has the perfict bs. i think its like 5.5 they didnt rub at all on my truck.
